What kind of tech, and...fucking Stanford? Holy shit man.

I'm a bit unsure of my plan at the minute. Ideally, I'd love to move to L.A. at some point to start working there, but the chances of me being able to are slim...damn immigration! Whilst I'm at university though, I do have the chance to work in the US over the summer, so hopefully I'll be able to do that for the next three years and hopefully make the process easier.

Judgement day is inevitable. No seriously, sentient AI will get invented at some point no matter what, resulting in either awesome technological progress/human immortality, or computers murdering us. Just like nuclear weapons, its an inevitable scientific discovery, so its useless to try to postpone it. I'd prefer we speed it up so I can live to find out what the aftermath will be.

That's actually a pretty cool plot twist for a movie.

Quick, someone call Shyamalan!

I've just completed 5 years working as an editor for a medical writing agency (we work for various pharmaceutical companies) and now I'm not sure what what to do next. My brother's looking to set up a studio and has invited me to join him, we'd be doing shorts, movies, TV, commercials etc. as well as regular photography. So in 5 years time I suppose my plan is to either have progessed and become a medical writer or be working in the entertainment business/working on a TV show/sitting at the premiere of the hard sci-fi film I'm writing.

I'm typically a goal oriented person who for the last year my only goal was MAKE SURE THE BABY SURVIVES ME.

Now that he survived his first year with me as father, I'd like to reorient my five year plan. 

1)  Turn my incorporation into more than just a tax shelter.  I have some ideas for some web based content, so first off I want my vision for Laser Fist Media to be fulfilled by years end.

2) More fight coreography.  Starting with One More Round, I hope to showcase that throughout the year.

3) More shorts.  Writing one now.

4) Some of you may know, but I worked in TV Development for the last year and I came fairly close to selling two of them.  My goal is to sell one by years end.

5) Finish 2 feature scripts Ive been SLOOOWLY working on for quite some time.  One is based on a little known WWII story, the other is something I work shopped a bit with some DiF folks.

Mine would be more like a three years and a half plan (I'm in this for four years). I'm now at the middle of my first year at my VFX school in Montpellier, and everything's going fine.

I'm very passionate about what I do there and I truly hope it goes on like this. I can't help but be a little frightened about the near future, since things are going to get harder year after year, but I'm just so glad I found a school I like - and in which I do things that I love to do - that for the moment, I enjoy every moment of it.

Truth is, I've tried computer science studies before doing that, and I hated it. I basically spent two years wondering what I'd do next, and I didn't even pass the diploma. What's happening to me right now is a very nice change.

And then? What's to happen after my studies are done is pretty much irrelevant to me at the moment. I'm just happy I've found my path for now.

On a more personal plan note, my goal would be to :
- be a more active Youtuber; I'm an electric guitar player, and I'm very interesting in doing covers - as in, arranging existing musics from movies, video games and stuff, into something I play myself. I've been following some guys doing this and I think it's great. This is an opportunity for me to find an actual goal to my guitar skills, because I've played the electric guitar for six years now and I've never played in a band or did anything "practical" with it yet.
- get better in doing astrophotography. I actually thought about making it a post in the Creations section some weeks ago, maybe I should start working on it again. Long story short, I'm into astronomy big time, and also into photography - my biggest passion being the combination of the two.
- find a girlfriend. Skyrim is great, but come on.
- over 9000 other things. I'll add ideas here when they come to mind. I'm that sort of guys who want to do everything but never quite do.

Easier, also. I've become a master in that particular art.

Oh yeah okay. Makes sense. But what I'm talking about here is more like hobbies and things I would like to learn or get into than what you'd call other lives. The rule can somewhat be applied here too, because time will be what you lack, but it doesn't have to be a major issue either. For instance, I've been meaning to start learning the cello. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, although I think that in this particular case, money will be more determinant than time.

Be a much better person than I am now.

I'm still working out the details on that.

Also, bullet3, do you know Less Wrong?

Our interests align.  I'm sick of festivals and mumblecore in this city.  We should pow-wow.
